Global dynamics and photon loss in the kompaneets equation
SIAM JOURNAL ON MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS(2023)
摘要
The Kompaneets equation governs dynamics of the photon energy spectrum in certain high temperature (or low density) plasmas. We prove several results concerning the long time convergence of solutions to Bose-Einstein equilibria and the failure of photon conservation. In particular, we show the total photon number can decrease with time via an outflux of photons at the zero-energy boundary. The ensuing accumulation of photons at zero energy is analogous to Bose-Einstein condensation. We provide two conditions that guarantee that photon loss occurs, and show that once loss is initiated then it persists forever. We prove that as t -> infinity , solutions necessarily converge to equilibrium and we characterize the limit in terms of the total photon loss. Additionally, we provide a few results concerning the behavior of the solution near the zero-energy boundary, an Oleinik inequality, a comparison principle, and show that the solution operator is a contraction in L-1. None of these results impose a boundary condition at the zero-energy boundary.
